Jewish Geneology: A Fraud?

For the most part, the practice of sacrifice stopped in the year 70 C.E., when the Roman army destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the place where sacrifices were offered. The practice was briefly resumed during the Jewish War of 132-135 C.E., but was ended permanently after that war was lost. There were also a few communities that continued sacrifices for a while after that time.

Sacrifices were stopped after the Temple's destruction because the Torah specifically commands Jews not to offer sacrifices just anywhere; they are only permitted in the place that G-d has chosen for that purpose. It would be a sin to offer sacrifices in any other location.

The destruction of the Second Temple brought about a dramatic change in Judaism. Rabbinic Judaism built upon Jewish tradition while adjusting to new realities. Temple ritual was replaced with prayer service in synagogues which built upon practices of Jews in the Diaspora dating back to the Babylonian exile.

The prime directive of the OT as written by the priests was designed to make sure that jews could only sacrifice AT THE TEMPLE which, not so coincidentally, was controlled by the priests.  Religion has always been a scam.
